He is a wonderful orator and a wonderful man. You want this man at your wedding.

Made every guest laugh and cry more than once. If you want a beautiful and meaningful ceremony, look no further. Chris made our ceremony what dreams are made of!

Stratford’s hidden gem. Chris is not your typical Officiant. His ability to piece our story together is a gift that we will cherish forever. His voice is clear and poetic. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.


As a Licensed Officiant I perform marriages in Stratford and London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Goderich, Hamilton, Burlington, Niagara – and beyond, by request.

People say that I have a warm, engaging presence and a strong, clear voice – formal when necessary, but not necessarily formal. I have extensive professional experience in public speaking, event planning and writing. I love my work as an Officiant because I believe in the importance of ritual and I thrive on the creative process of working with couples to craft a personalized ceremony that tells your story and reflects your values – to make your vision of a perfect ceremony a reality.



It is clear that Chris finds meaning in uniting and sealing the bond between two people in love.

Funny and personable. Hire him asap !

We cannot say enough about this man and how he made our wedding one of the most special moments in our lives.

A ceremony script that made everyone laugh, cry and smile. Our guests were RAVING about how wonderful he was and how much emotion he was able to add to our special day. Chris orchestrated a moment we will cherish for the rest of our lives.


Your marriage is the most important social contract of your lives. Humanist ceremonies offer broad flexibility and creativity in the structure and form that works for you. My goal is to create a ceremony that celebrates your relationship in a graceful and engaging way, sharing your love with your family, friends and colleagues. I would be honoured to be asked to make your wedding day exhilarating, inspiring and truly memorable.


An absolute professional throughout the entire process and a treat to work with.

An amazing wedding experience…personable, fun, light-hearted and serious all at the same time.

A service that blew past our expectations in the best of ways.

Very relaxed and professional. Brought warmth and humour and seemed like an old friend.

An excellent orator who kept our guests engaged, caring, courteous and professional every step of the way.
